The research represents principles of projective-geometric design of illusory spaces and proposes a study about the relief-perspective which featured the applications of science and art to interior decoration and architectural spaces during the sixteenth and the seventeenth century. The research has analyzed a selection of figurative and built illusory spaces, going to deepen the formation of the concepts of perception and illusion. During Renaissance was given emphasis to projective methods, of which were investigated the principles of geometric and optical ones in the proportions and in the visualization of architectural works, and the use of projective system accelerating or slowing the effects of the natural perspective to modify certain environmental aspects, external and internal, to the built volumes. The research also compares two major applications, the relief-perspectives of Francesco Borromini and Giovanni Maria da Bitonto and their partnership in the design of the perspectival tabernacle in Bologna and in the perspectival gallery for the Spada palace in Rome.

Abstract: Adaptive reuse in general is modifying a place for the function proposed or adapted to the existing function. Studies on the benefits of Adaptive Reuse are considered capable of providing three benefits such as, environmental aspects, social aspects and economic aspects and if associated with the context of disaster mitigation, the application of Adaptive Reuse is an alternative strategy in providing temporary shelter. The selection of Denpasar City as a research location is based on several considerations such as, the high number of unused buildings, strategic locations and infrastructure in accommodating refugees from outside the region and challenges to the lack of green land as a place of refuge. This study examines old buildings that begin with an understanding of evaluation criteria, the second stage is mapping and measuring old buildings which will be categorized based on the type of building, the third stage is building valuation. The results of the study obtained four buildings that were feasible to be used as temporary dwellings, namely, hotel lodging facilities on Jalan Puputan, Renon; sports facilities and parks namely Gor Kompyang Sujana on the road of Mt. Agung No.160 Pemecutan Kaja ; commercial facility building, namely the Shopping Block at Dewi Sartika Street, Dauh Puri Klod ; and cultural and entertainment facilities, namely Ardha Candra open stage at Nusa Indah No.1 street, Panjer.Keywords: Adaptive Reuse; Natural Disaster; Temporary Shelter, Denpasar City.Abstrak: Adaptive reuse secara umum yaitu memodifikasi sebuah tempat untuk fungsi yang diusulkan atau disesuaikan dengan fungsi eksisting. Kajian-kajian megenai manfaat Adaptive reuse dinilai mampu memberikan tiga manfaat yaitu, aspek lingkungan, aspek sosial dan aspek ekonomi dan jika dikaitkan dengan konteks mitigasi bencana, penerapan Adaptive reuse adalah strategi alternatif dalam penyediaan hunian sementara. Pemilihan Kota Denpasar sebagai lokasi penelitian yang didasari oleh beberapa pertimbangan seperti, tingginya jumlah bangunan yang tak terpakai, lokasi dan infrastruktur yang strategis dalam mengakomodasi pengungsi dari luar daerah dan tantangan terhadap minimnya lahan hijau sebagai tempat pengungsian.  Penelitian ini mengkaji bangunan tua yang dimulai dengan pemahaman kriteria evaluasi, tahap kedua yaitu pemetaan dan pengukuran bangunan tua yang akan di kategorikan berdasarkan tipe bangunan, tahap ketiga yaitu penilaian bangunan. Hasil penelitian memperoleh empat bangunan yang layak untuk digunakan sebagai tempat tinggal sementara yaitu, bangunan dan fasilitas penginapan hotel di jalan Raya Puputan, Renon, Denpasar; bangunan fasilitas olahraga dan taman yaitu Gor Kompyang Sujana di jalan Gn. Agung No.160 Pemecutan Kaja, Denpasar; bangunan fasilitas komersial yaitu Blok Pertokoan di jalan Dewi Sartika, Dauh Puri Klod, Denpasar; dan bangunan fasilitas budaya dan hiburan yaitu panggung terbuka Ardha Candra di jalan Nusa Indah No.1, Panjer, Denpasar.Kata Kunci: Penggunaan Kembali, Bencana Alam, Hunian Sementara, Kota Denpasar.

Abstract Introduction. Early detection of the person’s mental dependence on psychotropic substances enables timely correction of deviations in his/her behavior. Given the symptom of the anosognosy, the search for projective methods for determining the presence of mental dependence is required. Certain personality features that determine dependence can be reflected in the perception of music. Aim. The goal of the research was to determine the connecting features of the perception of music with the presence of the person’s mental dependence on psychotropic substances. Material and methods. The study involved students aged 18-19. There were 50 students in the standard group. The experimental group consisted of another 50 students with addictive behavior. They were of the same age and were patients in the centers of medical and social rehabilitation. For the study of personal qualities, the following methods were applied: the method of determining the level of subjective control by J. Rotter, the method of narrative by N. Chepeleva, the frustration test by Rosenzweig and six specially created musical fragments which represented a certain musical discourse. Results. An analysis of the selection of the musical fragments by students and individuals with addictive behavior has shown that there are statistically significant differences. Students, in comparison with those with addictive behavior, have mature social concept of “I-concept”, and this fact underlies the fact that they give the highest ratings to classical music. An empirical study has shown the connection between the the first stage selection of musical fragments that have certain psychological content and the presence of dependence on psychotropic substances. Conclusions. Musical discourse, due to the specific influence on the emotional sphere of a person, causes a certain response, relevant to its personality properties. The connection of psychological peculiarities of persons with addictive behavior and their perception of music is established: their emotional mood corresponds to music of a destructive character, which symbolizes aggression and has a dangerous influence on the mental state of a person. We defined musical discourses, the content of which can serve as stimulating material for determining certain personal characteristics that indicate the dependence on psychotropic substances.

The first of two volumes, this collection of essays on Scots law represents a selection of the most cited articles published by Professor John W. Cairns over a distinguished career in legal history. It is a mark of his international eminence that much of his prolific output has been published outside of the United Kingdom, in a wide variety of journals and collections. The consequence is that some of his most valuable writing has appeared in sources which are difficult to locate. This collection covers the foundation and continuity of Scots law from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Scotland through the eighteenth-century influence of Dutch Humanism into the nineteenth century and the further development of the Scots legal system and profession.

A performance-based approach to the interaction of geometric design, speed, and safety is considered given the availability of two key documents: the Highway Safety Manual and Modeling Operating Speed: Synthesis Report. A historical look at the concept of design speed shows that although the definition of design speed has changed on more than one occasion, the same basic philosophy that related design speed to a safe speed is still reflected in current policy in supplemental guidance related to the selection of design speed. A conservative approach to establishing design criteria, used to address the range of driver, vehicle, and roadway conditions and capabilities that a designer must consider, is demonstrated. Operating speeds are shown to be higher than design speeds for design speeds of approximately 55 mph or less. This outcome may be considered undesirable, but that categorization seems to be based more on subjective judgments of what is desirable than on actual safety findings. Finally, the idea of speed management through the use of roadway geometrics (i.e., geometric designs that influence driver selection of operating speed)—one component of self-enforcing, self-explaining roadway design—is explored. Findings uncover possible challenges to implementing this idea. Five related questions are addressed: (a) What is known about the relationships between road geometry and operating speeds? (b) To what degree does road geometry influence operating speeds? (c) How are safety and security influenced by road geometry? (d) What are the potential impacts on large vehicles? and (e) What is the nature of the speed–safety trade-off?

The object of the study consists of the architectural and artistic ensemble of the “Worker and Kolkoz Woman” pavilion created for the Paris International Exhibition in 1937 by architect B.M. Iofan and sculptor V.I. Mukhina as a part of a grandiose architectural idea declaring the aspiration for the future Soviet state and a sacred symbol of communist ideology. The study reveals that the monument was aimed at carrying a more substantial ideological message than just an architectural structure. The study of the sites proposed for the installation of sculptures for prominent figures in politics, science and art, monuments perpetuating the memorable events of Russian history and mankind shows that they constitute an important historical response to the demands by authorities at various levels for artistic solutions to contemporaneous socio-political problems. The subject of the study included the motivating factors in the selection of placement sites for the outstanding work of B.M. Iofan and V.I. Mukhina in the capital city. The article considers the scientific approach to the selection of sites for the placement of significant urban monuments on the basis of historical, cultural and architectural studies following the vector of spatial planning laid down in the General Plan for the Development of the City. The study combines general scientific methods of research (analysis, synthesis) with a number of specialised methods, such as system-structural, formal-logical, graphical virtual reconstruc-tion, complex research and others. Methodological approaches for studying the consequences of non-implementation of urban planning concepts and projects were developed. The result of the research is pre-sented by the proprietary development of approaches to adequate methods for determining the potential im-pact of major unimplemented urban planning projects on the formation of the capital of Russia on the exam-ple of the “Worker and Kolkoz Woman” pavilion.

This article proposes and considers a method for solving the problem of the optimal choice of insulation and sewing materials for the interior of a floating class «P» restaurant. This method is based on the principle of multi-criteria comparison of alternative options [1]. For comparison, most suitable insulation materials for a vessel of this type were selected. Since in modern shipbuilding safety and comfort demands of the interior of the vessels are high, so the requirements for insulation materials on the interior are also high. Various characteristics of insulating and sewing materials, which determine their quality level, were analyzed in details. When studying the characteristics of insulating materials, the technological level and competitiveness of the manufacturer were taken into account. To determine the most suitable insulation material for the interior decoration of the floating restaurant, multi-criteria comparison method was first applied. The determination of the materials competitiveness was made.
